What is the Smoke Free Grounds Policy?
Our new policy is part of a plan to improve health by reducing smoking. Northern Health will put this policy in place at our health facilities across Northern BC. We’ll put this in place in stages, and take some time where there are special considerations (in long term care facilities, palliative care as well as mental health and addictions facilities). Smoking will not be allowed on Northern Health owned and operated property. This includes all buildings, grounds, and parking lots when the policy is in place.
